Win $50,000 for your cause – Join America's Giving Challenge!

America's Giving Challenge is in full swing. In just a few days, $200,000 has been raised for over 4,000 causes!

The contest is simple: the cause that gets the most people to give $10 or more wins. Causes can win daily awards of up to $1,000 for getting the most donations in a single day, and overall awards up to $50,000 for getting the most donations over the entire challenge, which ends November 6th.

Go to www.causes.com to see the leading causes in the Challenge. From here, you can browse all competing causes or start a new cause. Or you can go directly to the list of your causes and pick one to help.

Once you have picked a cause, there are two easy ways to help:

1. Donate. Go to the cause you want to support and click on the green “Donate” button.
2. Tell your friends. Go to the cause you want to support and click on the green “Tell Friends” button. But don’t stop there—make phone calls, put your cause’s URL in your away message, and find other creative ways to get your friends to donate.

The Challenge, which was organized by Causes, the Case Foundation, and PARADE Publications, was created to empower individuals to join together and make a difference for the issues and organizations they care about most. Your donation, when put together with so many other people's donations, will make a huge difference for your cause and the people it affects. Go to www.causes.com to see who's winning and get involved!

This Challenge is about YOU. It's about you and your friends. It's about the power that all of us have to build communities that impact the world.

Thank you for taking action,
